近年來，對當代行為表演藝術與其歷史重要作品的展示和興趣，與視覺藝術中正在浮現的動力若符合節，持續的關注，正被導向藝術生產、存在與接受的時間性質。這篇論文著力於藝術實踐的時間性問題，特別檢視了我們可以如何思考藝術實踐的時延。透過分析「時延美學」歷史的重要作品與許多當代案例，這篇論文探問：一件藝術作品呈現給當下生活與呈現為當下生活，究竟意味著什麼，或者這些相關的做法對於當代文化與社會的生活經驗，可能在提供什麼樣的說法。
時延美學、行為表演藝術、時間
The recent resurgence of interest in, and exhibitions of, contemporary and historical works of performance art, coincides with emergent dynamics in the visual arts where persistent attention is being drawn to the temporal nature of art's production, existence and reception. This essay looks at the question of the temporality of art practices, in particular examining how one might think of their duration. Through analysis of historical works and numerous current examples of 'Durational Aesthetics' the essay investigates what it means for an artwork to present life, or to be a life, and what such formations might say about the conditions of lived experience in contemporary culture and society.
